Deployment with shades (http://www.easy-share.com/1914591145/Dark+Elves+Deployment.svg)

First turn (http://www.easy-share.com/1914591146/dark+elves+turn+1.svg)

The shades are the only one's in range so they shoot twice at the skinks, at a -2 to hit(long range and double shots)

To hit: Need 3's for the Bloodshade, the first two rolls, and 4's for the rest
[roll0]

To wound: Need 3's (take the first X rolls form the left)
[roll1]

And that is all for this turn

Edit: That means 5 skinks dead this turn

[tigerusthegreat]

[roll0] I'll get to the rest of it when I get off work tonight.

Looks like they don't break, as they are within 12" of my general (who has leadership 8, thank you cold blooded)

[tigerusthegreat]

Got called into work, so a bit of a delay. Should have something up tonight before I go to bed.

[tigerusthegreat]

stupidity test: [roll0]

[tigerusthegreat]

Okay, so a lot of movement, and cold ones charging your skirmishers. They are fear causing, so roll a leadership test. Then I'll need your charge reeaction as well.

Armor saves if you stand and shoot

Combat stuff if you do not flee

[DALORD]

Link for the map? But the gist is I flee, because they are dead either way and ill shoot your saurus

Shooty stuff:

Need 4's and 5's
To Hit-[roll0]

Need 5's
To Wound-[roll1]

Armour saves are -1 for armour piercing

I'll get the map done soon

[tigerusthegreat]

Couple things:

I don't see where you are getting armor piercing from (my book says repeaters are str 3, 2x multi-shots)

Regarding your shooting (I'm assuming you did 20 to have extra rolls, as you should only get 10.

Also, checking your earlier math against the skinks: you should need a 4+ for your bloodshade (BS 5 is 2+, -2 is 4+) and 5+ for your shades (BS 4 is 3+, -2 is 5+) meaning only 5 hit, only 4 wound (minor fix, but let me know what I'm not seeing).

So; resolution to our current round:

You need to make a leadership test.

Should you pass:
Your elves stand and shoot, still needing a 4+ and 5+ respectively (-1 stand and shoot, -1 multishots): 4 hits, wounding on a 5+ (str 3 vs t 4) means 1 wound, that rider is removed as he fails his save.

Means 4 riders get through to attack, needing a 4+ to hit and 3+ to wound: 6 rider and 3 cold ones hit; 4 wounds from saurus and 2 from cold ones, obliterating the unit.

Should you fail: my terror-causing unit outnumbers you, so your unit would break and flee. I'm at the outer range of my charge to hit you, so probably you'd run away and I'd stop 7" from my starting area. No combat would occur, and I would not loose a cold one

I'll send the file once this is resolved.

You must be using the old book, the newest says armour piercing, and in the same book shades are bs 5 and 6 for the bloodshade, the shooting above is for the crossbowmen that don't have the noble against the big saurus unit.

The shades flee as a charge reaction, dunno if I need a test for that but here it is
[roll0]

Sorry about the confusion I did ask if you were using the one released in the 6th ed rules or the 7th ed one though

Apparently instead of having the 6th and 7th I have two copies of 6th, one of which is mislabelled, I checked the ISBNs, and should be downloading the proper one now. Need to make a note to check the rest of them.



Also, for some reason i thought you were standing and shooting. Not sure why. I'm being exceptionally scatter brained about this thread. Will update/fix things once I have the right book.

[tigerusthegreat]

Alright, sorry about that I now have the correct source, and the information matches (which I expected it would once I figured out I had the wrong edition).

Map has been changed due to the failed charge of my cold ones, otherwise everything is the same (you will need to roll for and move your shades their flee distance).

NP I have been busy at work and unable to reply anyway. Whenever you can get it done, I'm not in a rush.

[tigerusthegreat]

I really hate doing this, but I have to discontinue this adventure. My work load (and now school load as I am having to take a summer course) is severely limiting my online time. I am sorry to do this to you guys.
